The Quiet Epidemic
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19 AT 3:00PM
General Admission $10
Passes Not Accepted
After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research, and buried documents reveals why ticks—and the diseases they carry—have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe. (Dir. by Winslow Crane-Murdoch & Lindsay Keys, 2022, USA, 102 mins., NR)
This is a rental of The Loft Cinema, presented by the Lyme Disease Association of Southern Arizona
